Greater New York’s weekend weather promises a string of partly to mostly sunny days and a brief fling with spring temperatures on Saturday.

Several systems pass through or near the region during the next three days, but generally mild conditions will prevail. On Thursday night and Friday, the large patch of Canadian high pressure responsible for Thursday’s below normal temperatures moves away from the region and out to sea. This enables an area of low pressure to approach from the south on Friday, but this system will stay south and east of the tri-state area with few ill effects.
